Tarmacking Services in Market Rasen
Strong, Reliable Surfaces That Last
If your driveway or outdoor surface is cracked, uneven or worn out, tarmac is a smart and affordable solution. It provides strength, flexibility and a clean modern finish that works for homes, car parks and access roads alike.
At Backhouse Construction & Landscaping, we install and resurface tarmac to deliver smooth, durable results that stand up to daily use and all weather conditions.
Why Tarmac Is a Smart Investment
Tarmac offers great strength at a reasonable cost. It handles heat, cold and heavy use without losing its shape or colour.
It can be installed faster than most surfacing types and looks neat from day one. With minimal maintenance, it keeps your property looking professional and well cared for.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping offered black for cars and red for feet so sightlines make sense. The colour split lifts the front without feeling flashy.
Kerbs seat firm, the apron meets the pavement clean and scooters skim across quietly. It is easier to live with from the first morning school run.

Dan checked neighbour levels so our fix didn’t export water. He set an upstand beside the beds to keep mulch off the edge and aligned the joint to the path neatly.
The drive reads modern without showing off.

Dan added a tidy upstand by the border so mulch stays put. Rain ran off neatly in yesterday’s shower.
Drive looks modern without shouting.

Dan treated the gate mouth like a tiny project of its own. Roots had lifted it so he rebuilt the base in layers, checked with string and only then laid the top.
A discrete channel sits to one side and the apron meets the pavement clean. Yesterday’s storm slid away in minutes and there was no crunch under tyres. Quiet competence from start to finish.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping repaired the gate mouth where tyres always dug a groove. Fresh base, uniform top and a slot drain set to the right fall.
Yesterday’s storm slid away in minutes. The driveway feels like one piece instead of a quilt of fixes. Quiet result, big improvement.

Dan rebuilt a sagging gate mouth that used to collect water. New base, rolled finish and a slim slot drain set to the proper fall.
Yesterday’s rain disappeared in minutes. The tyres no longer thud as we turn in. It’s a relief.

Dan started by talking me through binder grades and cure times so I knew what to expect. He timed the lay for a cool morning, compacted in steady passes and checked levels with a straightedge I could see.
A shallow dip near the apron vanished once the base was rebuilt. He set a neat drain at the downpipe and proved it with a jug. Two days later we drove on, no scuffing, no grit underfoot. It feels quietly solid every time we turn in.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping refreshed our long access with a straightforward overlay after sealing cracks. The ride feels steady, gullies align and the entrance sits square to the pavement.
It sweeps clean in minutes and looks smart from the street. Exactly what we wanted.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping resurfaced the shared lane between cottages. Cones managed passing traffic, edges cut clean and the roll left no ridges.
The postie thanked them. It reads tidy without feeling precious.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced the patchwork of cold repairs with a single continuous run. A gentle camber now guides rain to the gully and the manhole sits properly flush.
They kept the cones spaced so the street could breathe and rinsed the kerb before heading off. Scooters skim along without vibration and the frontage finally matches the brickwork. It reads settled rather than newly stuck on.

Dan kept radios quiet, swept the pavement and checked the channel with a bucket test before leaving. The driveway looks like one piece instead of a quilt of repairs.
Very pleased.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping corrected a sag that used to catch the bumper. The dip is gone and tyres whisper over the manhole.
Frontage looks smarter.

They replaced a messy patchwork with one solid surface. Dan checked our drains and adjusted levels so water heads to the channel.
Sorted.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced a patchwork of cold repairs with one continuous tarmac surface. They rebuilt the sub base at the sagging end, compacted until the note changed and set the edging stones tight.
The manhole sits flush and tyres whisper over it. House frontage feels smarter already.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt the sub base at our entrance, then laid a uniform tarmac coat that meets the pavement neatly. The manhole is dead flush, edges are tidy and the camber sends water to a quiet slot drain.
They protected the verge with boards, kept the street passable and swept before leaving. It looks simple, which is why it works. Tyres whisper rather than crunch and the front suddenly feels finished.
